The Instructional Coaching Handbook
Three instructional coaches share more than 200 of the most helpful problem-solving strategies they've used in their decades-long work with teachers, administrators, and coaches. The Instructional Coaching Handbook is not a new model of coaching. It addresses common hiccups that prevent productive coaching conversations from happening in the first place. From their thousands of annual school visits, the authors recognize that coaches frequently confront similar challenges when helping educators address seven skills and dispositions—and they devote a chapter to each: * Efficacy * Equity * Academic instruction * Social-emotional instruction * Openness to feedback * Lesson planning * Team mem...

Enhancing Professional Practice
Presenting the latest iteration of the Framework for Teaching—the most comprehensive tool yet for teacher self-assessment and reflection, observation and feedback, and collaborative inquiry.

The Framework's four domains, 22 components, and 78 key elements provide an expansive, holistic definition of what teachers across the K–12 spectrum should know and be able to do in the exercise of their profession. Critically, it gives practitioners a common language for visualizing, tal...
Before You Say a Word
Learn what the best speakers do and don't do, and communicate with more confidence in both formal and informal situations, with audiences big and small. Before you got into leadership, did you expect you'd be doing so much speaking? It seems you're always talking—in faculty meetings and one-on-one evaluations; in PD sessions and department meetings; at parents' night and awards ceremonies; to colleagues, supervisors, and the school board; and in front of dozens or hundreds or just a webcam and a ring light. You need to move and motivate, inform and edify, and sometimes pitch policy directives you know will be unpopular. Spoken communication and effective messaging is a huge component of yo...
Vanished Islands and Hidden Continents of the Pacific
Islands—as well as entire continents—are reputed to have disappeared in many parts of the world. Yet there is little information on this subject concerning its largest ocean, the Pacific. Over the years, geologists have amassed data that point to the undeniable fact of islands having disappeared in the Pacific, a phenomenon that the oral traditions of many groups of Pacific Islanders also highlight. There are even a few instances where fragments of Pacific continents have disappeared, becoming hidden from view rather than being submerged. In this scientifically rigorous yet readily comprehensible account of the fascinating subject of vanished islands and hidden continents in the Pacific,...
Human Behavioral Ecology and Coastal Environments
Examples of a research approach that sheds light on coastal societies in the past In this volume, contributors apply human behavioral ecology theoretical models to coastal environments around the globe and to the use of coastal resources by past human societies. Evidence demonstrates that coastlines and islands are dynamic environments that were important in early human migrations, and this volume shows how researchers can gain insights about human behavior in these settings through its critical regional reviews and detailed local case studies. The volume begins by introducing the importance of theory in the reconstruction of human behavior and provides examples of traditional foraging model...

Roseburg
Originally called Deer Creek, Roseburg was the creation of entrepreneur Aaron Rose. After becoming county seat for Douglas County in 1854, the citys growth was assured. Roseburg became the bridge between the populated Willamette Valley and the mining districts of Southern Oregon. Situated in a panoramic valley created by the North and South Umpqua Rivers, Roseburgs population increased dramatically over the next 155 years. In 1872, the Oregon and California Railroad arrived and the city became a major center of commerce in Oregon. Today Roseburg continues to present a serene and picturesque face to cars rushing by on I-5.

Veteran instructional coaches A. Keith Young and Tamarra Osborne provide practical advice for trainers seeking high-leverage strategies for successful professional trainings. How do you see yourself as a trainer? Are you occasionally extraordinary, or do you flail about a bit? Are you connected to a helpful community of other trainers, or are you just starting out and feeling isolated and alone in your job? Do your workshops end with thunderous applause, or do you have nightmares about participants gazing into the middle distance and leaving with little more than they started with? Odds are, you've experienced multiple successes and failures—and that's OK! Regardless of your starting point...
